In this paper, we give an algorithm for finding general rational solutions of a given first-order ODE with parametric coefficients that occur rationally. We present an analysis, complete modulo Hilbert's irreducibility problem, of the…

In this paper we use the comparison method for investigation of first order polynomial differential equations. We prove two comparison criteria for these equations. The proved criteria we use to obtain some global solvability criteria for…

We compute the rate of convergence of forward, backward and central finite difference $\theta$-schemes for linear PDEs with an arbitrary odd order spatial derivative term. We prove convergence of the first or second order for smooth and…

Perturbed projection for linear scaling solution of the coupled-perturbed self-consistent-field equations [Weber, Niklasson and Challacombe, Phys. Rev.\ Lett. {\bf 92}, 193002 (2004)] is extended to the computation of higher order static…

Here we present a new approach to deal with first order ordinary differential equations (1ODEs), presenting functions. This method is an alternative to the one we have presented in [1]. In [2], we have establish the theoretical background…

We derive, by means of variational techniques, a limiting description for a class of integral functionals under linear differential constraints. The functionals are designed to encode the energy of a high-contrast composite, that is, a…

We provide the first quantitative result of convergence to equilibrium in the context of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann-Fermi-Dirac equation associated to hard potentials interactions under angular cut-off assumption, providing an…

We prove a homogenization theorem for quadratic convolution energies defined in perforated domains. The corresponding limit is a Dirichlet-type quadratic energy, whose integrand is defined by a non-local cell-problem formula. The proof…

The four types of homogeneity -- additive, multiplicative, exponential, and logarithmic -- are generalized as transformations describing how a function $f$ changes under scaling or shifting of its arguments. These generalized homogeneity…

In this paper, we first introduce the reader to the Basic Scheme of Moulinec and Suquet in the setting of quasi-static linear elasticity, which takes advantage of the fast Fourier transform on homogenized microstructures to accelerate…

This paper is devoted to order-one explicit approximations of random periodic solutions to multiplicative noise driven stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with non-globally Lipschitz coefficients. The existence of the random periodic…

We consider a general second order matrix operator in a multi-dimensional domain subject to a classical boundary condition. This operator is perturbed by a first order differential operator, the coefficients of which depend arbitrarily on a…

We study a class of Landau-de Gennes energy functionals in the asymptotic regime of small elastic constant $L>0$. We revisit and sharpen the results in [18] on the convergence to the limit Oseen-Frank functional. We examine how the…

We present a covariant quantization of the first-order formulation of the Einstein-Hilbert theory using the path integral and BV formalisms. In this approach, the metric $g^{\mu\nu}$ and the connection $\Gamma^\lambda_{\mu\nu}$ are treated…

It is shown that the Lagrangian reduction, in which solutions of equations of motion that do not involve time derivatives are used to eliminate variables, leads to results quite different from the standard Dirac treatment of the first order…

We present a consistent high-order staggered Lagrangian hydrodynamics framework designed to reconcile an underlying disparity in existing curvilinear formulations: the mismatch between quadrature-based "strong" mass conservation and the…

Accelerated first order methods, also called fast gradient methods, are popular optimization methods in the field of convex optimization. However, they are prone to suffer from oscillatory behaviour that slows their convergence when medium…

In this work, we present a novel algorithm design methodology that finds the optimal algorithm as a function of inequalities. Specifically, we restrict convergence analyses of algorithms to use a prespecified subset of inequalities, rather…

We address the problem of characterizing $H$-coloring problems that are first-order definable on a fixed class of relational structures. In this context, we give several characterizations of a homomorphism dualities arising in a class of…

In this paper we give explicit first order Lagrangian formulation for mixed symmetry tensor fields \Phi_{[\mu\nu],\alpha}, T_{[\mu\nu\alpha],\beta} and R_{[\mu\nu],[\alpha\beta]}. We show that such Lagrangians could be written in a very…
